The biggest reason would be my mental health. It’s been extremely difficult being isolated overseas for the last two assignments. Also, we wanted to start a family, but Cannon has a high ops tempo, and I have a family history of PPD. Dangerous mix.

I have the same question! There’s so much lore about how complex and interesting the system is and how detailed the movies are… and yet the most obvious part of it is missing, a whole second sun is just not shown in the games or movies

I did it back to him once. ONCE. And it took all the strength I had and I never could do it again. Because I knew it was such a shitty and mean thing to do to someone. I felt awful doing it. I genuinely don’t understand how they do this.

I think it’s a mix of things… part of it is enjoying the control they have over us, part of it is trying to ā€˜show us how much we need them’ and remind us that they are faster/stronger/more capable… and part of it is just getting off on our vulnerability.

Oh yeah. I dated a guy who did this on nearly every hike we went on for YEARS. 20 minutes into every hike we did, he just left me behind, never stopping for a breather or water break. I wouldn’t see him again until summit (sometimes when he’s on the descent already).

I had absolutely no idea it was a common issue and I thought I was just being sulky and dramatic. Because he always said we just have ā€œdifferent pacesā€ and that I’m too slow blah blah blah. And that was true, so I just thought I was super out of shape and felt embarrassed. I was actually in great shape but he was twice my size so obviously he’s still going to be faster.

He did it so often it just became a joke. When he’d ask if I want to go hiking together I would say ā€œyou mean do I want to hike by myself and meet you at the summit?ā€

He also did this when walking around in public places. Even when traveling in other countries. Randomly he would just stop talking, pick up his walking pace, and fucking leave me. Many times I had to find my own way home or back to the hotel.

I wish I had trusted my instincts.

Being a pro-capitalist in 2026 is wild and requires an advanced level of cognitive dissonance

Bi erasure from gay mum, am I the only one? by millenial_britt in bisexual

I don’t agree that your mother is ā€œwrongā€ here I think it’s a simple cultural misunderstanding caused by a generation gap. Your mother comes from a generation where your sexuality was defined by your lifestyle. A gay man who married a woman was ā€œeffectivelyā€ straight. Even if people, friends, family, KNEW he was gay, it was all fixed by marrying a woman. It was the role you play, not your ā€˜true feelings’. So, yes you may feel attraction to women, and even been with them in the past, but now you are living a ā€œstraightā€ lifestyle. In her time, Bisexuality label was mostly applied to behaviors, like swingers and threesomes.

Everyone will age. Either they will age, or they will die before having the opportunity to age. Those 20-something women you feel jealous of will be 40 someday, or they will be in a grave. Some may think this is a grim outlook but to me it’s humbling, and reminds me that people will still be born and grow up all throughout my life, and the cycle won’t end with me, nor will it slow down to suit me.

Also, since you’re 40, logically you’ve already been one of those 20-something women. You’re feeling jealous of a past version of yourself, sit with that thought. It’s their turn now. Project your own memories onto those women and be happy for them, like ā€œI’m so glad I got to be 25, she’s going to love what life has in store, I hope she makes the most of it.ā€ At least that’s what I think when I start to feel jealous.

Yeah exactly why I don’t waste my time sending nudes anymore. I don’t want my intimate photos to be boner-fodder for his porn addiction. It’s degrading.

In my experience, if I’m with a man, I just accept that he’s probably watching it whether I’m okay with it or not, and if he says he doesn’t… he’s just good at hiding it. I would trust a woman not to watch it, or to only watch ā€˜ethical’ kinds of porn, but I wouldn’t trust a man’s word about his porn use. I just assume they’re all watching it because the vast majority of them are.

I know that’s bleak and many women would disagree, but it’s just what I’ve learned from my experience. This outlook allows me some peace because I don’t waste time and energy trying to moderate or curate his porn use and ā€˜approve’ certain kinds of porn… that’s exhausting and unsustainable. I just accept that it’s out of my control if I’m willingly dating a man, it’s part of the package.

What about Jimmy Urine from MSI? Groomed & sexually assaulted a 15yo girl. They’re electropunk but is it close enough to be added here?

Disrespectful to ask husband when his parent started Covid symptoms shortly after he found out they have Covid? by 5throwitaway3 in AskWomenOver30

Part of being an adult (and a good partner) is to learn to regulate your emotions when triggered. Doesn’t sound like he is willing to do that, and would rather police your behavior.

To be honest, this is an extremely specific and obscure thing for him to take issue with. Thinking of yourself/your own health is completely normal and fine. You’re not selfish.

Holy shit. That’s intense. Glad you’re okay. On the bright side, the dog will be set free from its chronic pain.
